Christmas may not be the ‘usual celebration’ due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Professor Jeremy Farrar said that families should be prepared for a ‘very difficult’ period over the next few months due to a rise in the virus and other infections.
The scientist, who is a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, said he does not believe a vaccine would be ready ahead of the festive period.
Speaking to Sky News, Prof Farrar said transmission of the virus needs to be reduced now across the whole country, the Mirror reports.
